I agree with most of the others here that you are focusing on the wrong thing if you want to hire great developers. If you think that a great paycheck is the only incentive that is needed then only people that consider that as the most important thing will show up for an interview. Its not necessarily a bad thing but if you can't offer anything else that's "interesting" it is. I would suggest you look for passionate people that are into this job because they love what they are doing (they may not match your profile 100%, but that is a good sign) and giving them enough freedom to do their work without to much disturbance. Focus on building a great team; eliminate as much burochratic crap as possible, have fun and deliver excellent software.
